System Restore?

Are we talking about Video playback or Visualizations?
Check your settings.

System Restore was not enabled. Sound is there. on the program bar, WMP shows as minimized, but will not go bigger. Just no video or visualizations.

Thanks! I figured it out. What had happened was, that under XP Pro, Windows updates had loaded a driver for my system's Video card. This "updated" drive somehow check the box in the settings to allow you to run over the edge of the screen. MP was going full screen in a "virtual" screen that I could not see. Once I just ran my mouse "under the edge" of the right edge of the screen and the right clicked and dragged the mp over to the left. Thats it!!!!
